Look at rule #4. No "what did I take?/What do I have?" threads.
Plus it would be really stupid to eat those mushies just because someone on the internet says "LOL thoz r the majik mushroomz!!! Eat themm!!1!1!" Wild mushrooms are not something to mess around with, as many are poisonous.

there is NOWHERE near the amount of stuff we would need to ID what they MIGHT be.
there are species that look like others, and then theres also the fact that different environmental conditions affect the look of a mushroom too.
in the dry a P. Semilanceata can look totally different to how it would look during a wetter season. different shape, size, colour etc.
if you are asking for an ID, well, dont eat them. an ID on the interwebz is NOT a positive ID.
unless you do a spore analysis, spore prints, and a host of other techniques,
you have NO way of knowing what species it is.
if in doubt, dont eat it.
but for future reference, a badly organised pile of mushrooms covered in dirt in the grass
is not good for being able to be ID'd.
neither is just a cap of some orange blob.
next time, think things through better, and study mycology and fungus extensively if you are going to go around picking fungi to eat.
go over to the Shroomery, you will have much, much more luck over there.

I don't believe one needs to study mycology successfully to look for one or two specific species. I find my own morels every year, which a friend taught me in an afternoon. However, that is much different than, "will i trip off this" with no info as to where someone lives, no picture of spore print, and no even remote suggestion of what genus or species the person is looking for.

at least the OP had the sense to ask.
for this, i commend him or her.
all too often people just go on what someone has said, such as mr triple C tripper.
but anyhoo...
